"We are pleased with TELA’s solid performance in the first quarter of 2023, having increased revenue by 45% year-over-year," said Antony Koblish, co-founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of TELA Bio. "We anticipate the recent closing of our follow-on offering will help us accelerate the expansion of our commercial organization and further leverage our growing product portfolio and deepening GPO access to drive market penetration.

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue was $11.9 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 45% compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was due to the expansion of our commercial organization, the addition of new customers, increased penetration within existing customer accounts, and stronger international sales.
Gross profit was $7.9 million in the first quarter of 2023, or 66% of revenue, compared to $5.0 million, or 61% of revenue, in the same period in 2022. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to better inventory management practices resulting in a decrease in the reserve for excess and obsolete inventory as a percentage of revenue as compared to the prior year period.
Operating expenses were $19.2 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $14.8 million in the same period in 2022. The increase was due to higher compensation and employee-related expenses from additional headcount as we continue to expand our organization, along with increased travel expenses and increased consulting fees.
Loss from operations was $11.3 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to a loss from operations of $9.8 million in the same period in 2022.
Net loss was $12.0 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to a net loss of $10.9 million in the same period in 2022.
Cash and cash equivalents on March 31, 2023 totaled $30.1 million.
2023 Financial Guidance
We continue to expect full year 2023 revenue to range from $60 million to $65 million, reflecting growth of 45% to 57% over full year 2022.
